News

  • Cut by Carolina

    The Panthers released Horsted on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Horsted signed with Carolina on Aug. 5 after spending the previous two seasons with the Raiders. The tight end has 14 career catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers kept Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble and rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders at the position.

  • Signs with Carolina

    The Panthers agreed to terms with Horsted on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Horsted is joining a Panthers tight end room that's currently depleted, as both Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) are dealing with injuries. Horsted, a Princeton product, is likely an extra camp body to take some load off the recovering Thomas and Tremble, but if he impresses throughout the preseason, he could earn a depth spot on Carolina's 53-man roster.

  • Cut loose by Saints

    Horsted was released by the Saints on Saturday, John Hendrix of SI.com reprts.

    Analysis: Horsted inked a deal with New Orleans during OTAs, but he was ultimately unable to show enough to secure a longer stint. His 2023 campaign ended with him on the Raiders' injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. He has seemingly moved on from the injury and will now look for a new landing spot.

  • Secures deal with Saints

    New Orleans signed Horsted to a contract Friday.

    Analysis: Horsted finished last season on the Raiders' injured reserve list due to a hamstring issue, but he's presumably now healthy. The tight end was limited mostly to special-teams work with Las Vegas in 2023, logging eight offensive snaps and catching his only target for four yards while recording 216 special-teams snaps. Horsted's signing will help fill the void left by Juwan Johnson's foot injury. Johnson is set for surgery but could still be ready for the start of the regular season.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Raiders placed Horsted (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Horsted won't be eligible to return until deep in the playoffs should the Raiders make it to the postseason. He played just eight offensive snaps across 13 appearances this season, mainly working on special teams for Las Vegas.

  • Won't play Monday

    Horsted (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Horsted was a late addition to the Raiders' injury report Saturday after practicing in limited fashion. With Michael Mayer (toe) already ruled out, Austin Hooper is now the only healthy tight end on the team's active roster.

    Published: Sun, Dec 24 at 11:42am by Rotowire.com

  • Chance to play Week 16

    Horsted (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Horsted was a late addition to the Raiders' injury report, as he was held to limited participation in Saturday's practice with a hamstring issue. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up in Week 16, Austin Hooper would stand as Las Vegas' lone active tight end, barring any signings or practice squad elevations, as Michael Mayer (toe) has been ruled out.

  • No work on offense in Week 15

    Horsted played all 23 of his snaps on special teams in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Though the Raiders raced out to a 42-0 halftime lead, Horsted didn't end up seeing any action on offense even while several other backup players picked up snaps amid the blowout win. Horsted has logged just eight snaps on offense through the first 15 weeks of the season, recording one catch for four yards on one target.

  • Yet to play on offense

    Horsted played all 14 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Horsted has dressed for both of the Raiders' first two games but has yet to see any work on offense. He remains the clear No. 3 tight end on the depth chart behind Austin Hooper and Michael Mayer.

    Published: Wed, Sep 20 at 11:19am by Rotowire.com

  • Not on injury report

    Horsted (concussion) is not on the Raiders' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Horsted is coming off a two-game absence due to a concussion sustained in Week 12. His full participation at Wednesday's practice indicates he has cleared the league's protocols. Look for him to take on his usual role backing up Foster Moreau at tight end assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Out again Thursday

    Horsted (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rams, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Horsted sustained a concussion during the Raiders' Week 12 matchup in Seattle, and the 25-year-old will ultimately miss his second consecutive contest because of it. Horsted has mainly operated as a special-teams contributor thus far in 2022, so his absence shouldn't greatly alter Las Vegas' game plan Thursday against the Rams.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Horsted (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Horsted appears to still be in protocols after suffering a concussion Week 12 against the Seahawks. With the Raiders on a short week following Sunday's win over the Chargers, which Horsted missed, he may have a difficult time gaining clearance and playing Thursday against the Rams.

  • Out against Chargers

    Horsted (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Horsted was unable to practice all week. In his absence, Jacob Hollister will be the primary backup behind Foster Moreau at tight end.

  • Forced out with consussion

    Horsted (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Horsted did not log any offensive statistics before exiting at some point versus Seattle. The tight end will now need to clear the league's concussion protocol before suiting up again, and his next chance to play will come against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 4. With Horsted out and Jacob Hollister (coach's decision) inactive, Foster Moreau will serve as the Raiders' only available tight end for the remainder of this Week 12 contest.

    Published: Sun, Nov 27 at 3:10pm by Rotowire.com

  • Little playing time behind Moreau

    Horsted went without a target across four snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Though he's served as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end in each of the past four games while Darren Waller (hamstring) has been sidelined, Horsted hasn't benefited from a dramatic increase in playing time. Horsted has taken no more than five snaps in any of those four contests while Foster Moreau has stepped into a full-time role in the absence of Waller. Moreau hasn't seen his snap share on offense fall below 95 percent in any of the past four weeks.

    Published: Wed, Nov 16 at 9:34am by Rotowire.com

  • Three catches in primetime loss

    Horsted caught three passes on as many targets for 19 yards in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Horsted quickly became the Raiders' only option at tight end when Darren Waller exited Monday's contest early due to a hamstring injury, with Foster Moreau (knee) also on the shelf. The team's upcoming bye week lends Waller and Moreau additional time to heal ahead of Las Vegas' Week 7 matchup against the Texans, but Horsted could be a part of that offensive game plan if either continues to miss time.

  • Signs with Las Vegas

    Horsted signed a contract with the Raiders on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Horsted gets another chance after he was waived by Chicago in May following a failed physical. He'll need to make a strong impression to crack the depth chart at tight end after Las Vegas also signed Jacob Hollister and rookie UDFAs Cole Fotheringham and Travis Koontz this offseason.

  • Gets let go

    Horsted (undisclosed) was waived from the reserve/PUP list with an injury settlement Friday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Horsted was waived Wednesday after a failed physical, then reverted to the PUP list after going unclaimed. Over the past three years, he's appeared in a total of 13 games for the Bears, catching 10 of 13 targets for 108 years and three touchdowns. He'll now look to get healthy and earn another shot within the NFL.

  • Reverts to PUP list

    Horsted (undisclosed) reverted to the reserve/PUP list Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Horsted was waived with a failed physical designation Wednesday, but he'll remain with the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The nature of his injury still isn't clear.

  • Cut with failed physical

    The Bears waived Horsted (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Wednesday.

    Analysis: Horsted appeared in seven games for Chicago last season and caught two of three targets for 21 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears tendered him a contract for 2022 but have now opted to part ways with him.

  • Inks tender with Bears

    Horstead signed a one-year contract as an exclusive-rights free agent with the Bears on Tuesday, Brendan Sugrue of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Horsted was tendered by Chicago back in March, and he will now officially return to the team. The depth tight end mostly contributed on special teams last season, handling just six offensive snaps in seven appearances.

    Published: Tue, Apr 5 at 8:44am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Tendered one-year deal

    Horsted was tendered a one-year contract by the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Horsted appeared in seven games for the Bears last season, seeing just six offensive snaps, but he caught two of his three targets for 21 yards and two touchdowns. The 25 year-old has spent two seasons with the Bears after going undrafted out of Princeton. With fellow tight ends Jimmy Graham and Jesse James set to become free agents, Horsted has an opportunity to earn a larger role next season.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Chicago placed Horsted on injured reserve Wednesday with an unspecified injury.

    Analysis: Horsted was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, but he's apparently still dealing with an unrelated issue. The depth tight end appeared in seven games during 2021 and caught two passes for 21 yards, both of which went for touchdowns.

  • Removed from COVID-19 list

    The Bears activated Horsted (illness) off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Horstead tested positive for the virus and has been sidelined since Dec. 22. The backup tight end has yet to play over two offensive snaps in a game this season, so his return to the active roster shouldn't impact the Bears' offensive game plan.

    Published: Mon, Jan 3 at 12:55pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Horsted (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Horsted, who caught a 19-yard touchdown on the last play of Monday's loss to the Vikings, is the latest Bears player to land in the COVID-19 protocol. Jesse James is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but Chicago still has Cole Kmet, Jimmy Graham and J.P. Holtz as its available options at tight end.

  • Posts second touchdown of season

    Horsted caught a 19-yard touchdown pass in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

    Analysis: With the game out of hand and the clock winding down, the Bears had many of their backups on the field, which led to Horsted catching a touchdown pass on his only target as time expired. He's certainly been efficient this year, as he's caught two of his three targets, with both of his receptions coming in the end zone. It's unlikely he'll have enough of a role in the offense to be considered in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Healthy scratch for Week 11

    Horstead (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest with the Ravens.

    Analysis: Horstead has mostly operated on special teams this year, so his absence shouldn't affect the Bears' offensive rotations. J.P. Holtz will likely fill in for Horstead on special teams, while Jesse James operates as the backup to Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Horsted failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Aside from a two-yard touchdown reception two weeks ago, Horsted doesn't have another catch on the year, and unless he moves up the Chicago depth chart, it's unlikely he'll have much fantasy value.

    Published: Sun, Oct 24 at 5:10pm by Rotowire.com

  • First reception since 2019

    Horsted caught a two-yard touchdown pass in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Horsted functioned as the Bears' third tight end with Jesse James (personal) and J.P. Holtz (quadriceps) sitting this game out. It's unlikely that Horsted will see more than a handful of targets this season unless his situation changes drastically.

  • Active in Week 5

    Horsted (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Horsted was questionable for the contest with a knee injury even after logging full practices throughout the week. Typically buried on the depth chart, Horsted will serve as the team's third tight end with both Jesse James (personal) and J.P. Holtz (quadriceps) ruled out.

    Published: Sun, Oct 10 at 11:54am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Considered questionable

    Horsted (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Horstead logged a full workload at each practice this week, so he is certainly trending in the right direction Sunday. With Jesse James (personal) and J.P. Holtz (quadriceps) sidelined, Horsted would be the No. 3 tight end behind Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham should he ultimately get the green light.

  • Three TDs in huge performance

    Horsted caught all five of his targets for 104 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Titans.

    Analysis: The full extent of the 24-year-old's NFL resume is six games for the Bears in 2019, during which he caught only eight passes, but Horsted looked like Jimmy Graham in his prime Saturday. He displayed exceptional hands in grabbing a 20-yard pass from Justin Fields along the sideline between two defenders in the first half for his initial TD, and then the tight end topped himself in the second half by making a spectacular one-handed catch down the seam on a toss from Nick Foles before turning on…read more

  • Secures future deal with Bears

    The Bears signed Horsted to a reserve/future contract on Monday.

    Analysis: Horsted appeared in six games with Chicago during the 2019 season, catching eight of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The tight end reverted to the practice squad after his NFL debut, but Horsted will strive for an opportunity to see more game action in 2021.

  • Shifts to waivers

    The Bears waived Horsted on Saturday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Horsted came in handy last season when the Bears' tight-end depth took a hit, as he played in six games and caught eight of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Bears brought in reinforcements at tight end this offseason, though, signing Jimmy Graham and drafting Cole Kmet in the second round, so Horsted will look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

  • Not targeted in season finale

    Horsted posted no statistics in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with eight receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown in five games.

    Analysis: Horsted moved into a prominent role over the last six weeks of the season when the Bears lost their top-three tight ends to injuries. During that time, he had one game with more than 20 yards while averaging two targets per contest. He'll enter the last year of his contract with the Bears in 2020, and he'll be expected to compete for a roster spot, though it's unlikely he'll carry much fantasy value unless he soars up the depth chart.

  • Snags only target

    Horsted caught one pass for 20 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Horsted has posted exactly one reception in four of his five games this season, and he won't be a player to count on in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Targeted three times

    Horsted caught one pass for 18 yards in the Bears' 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even though the Bears were trailing by double digits for most of the second half, Horsted was targeted just three times on a day that Mitchell Trubisky threw the ball 53 times. He's averaging fewer than three targets per game, and he'll be a low-floor fantasy option at home in Week 16 against the Chiefs.

  • Season-high yardage total

    Horsted hauled in all four of his targets for 36 yards in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: After scoring a touchdown Thanksgiving Day, Horsted posted a decent fantasy performance in the first game of the season in which he was targeted more than once. If Ben Braunecker (concussion) continues to miss time, Horsted will be a desperation play at tight end in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Finds end zone

    Horsted caught an 18-yard touchdown pass in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: With Ben Braunecker (concussion) and Adam Shaheen (foot) sitting this one out, Horsted saw the only target that Mitch Trubisky threw to a Chicago tight end, and he made a terrific leaping catch to tie the game in the third quarter. Even if he continues to see playing time, it's unlikely he'll be a strong fantasy option, as the Bears have yet to have a tight end post 20 yards in a game this season.

  • Makes career debut

    Horsted caught one pass for four yards in Chicago's 19-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Horsted was promoted from the practice squad for this contest, and he caught the only pass that was thrown in his direction. Even if he remains on the active roster, the Chicago offense has yet to have a tight end post 20 yards in a game, so don't expect Horsted to be a significant fantasy option in the near future.

  • Rises to 53-man roster

    Horsted was promoted to the active roster Wednesday, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted free agent was highly productive in college, racking up 164 receptions for 2,273 yards and 27 touchdowns during his final two years at Princeton. Horstead also played three preseason games for the Bears this year, catching eight of 10 targets for 121 yards and two scores. The 22-year-old tight end has toiled on the team's practice squad since, and he'll get a shot at the top level following Trey Burton's (calf) placement on IR.
